‘Food & Wine’ says this Columbus shop has some of the country’s best bagels, and it may not be the one you think

According to a list from “Food & Wine” a Columbus eatery has some of the best bagels in the country.

And it’s not the ever-popular Block’s Bagels.

Instead, ‘Food & Wine’ opted for the more contemporary, and culinary, option: The Lox Bagel Shop, a Columbus eatery that has been revered for its bagel creations ever since opening.

Here’s what the publication had to say about The Lox.

A great deal many shops on this list almost seem to stumble upon a fusion of the New York and Montreal styles, or if they got there on purpose, they don’t really like to talk about it. At the finest bagel shop in Ohio’s happening capital city, the bakers are proud of their hybrid creation, and they really ought to be. Essentially, these are larger-sized Montreal bagels, handsome enough on the outside that you might like to gaze upon them for a time, before slicing. Inside, however, they’re nice and soft, like a New York bagel, and whatever you do with them—schmear, sandwiches, or even just sink your teeth into a fresh one, with nothing on it—you’re winning at breakfast.

The Lox is best-known locally for its bagel sandwiches, in both breakfast and lunch varieties, from the classic The Lox to The Pastrami and many more.
